Ok, some initial things I noticed which beating on 7.1.1 RC.
1. The new loader screen and animation is slick.
2. Setting up display resolutions and testing modes is hella faster.
XServer 1.6.1, I see?
3. KDE 4.2.4 is *much* more responsive. And yay, the KDE guys fixed
the issue with text input field shrinking when a bad command or
incorrect password is entered.
4. Running Portsnap in System Manager downloaded and did it's thing
fairly quick but then sat at 100% progress complete / "new ports or
files" for well over 10 minutes while the HD grinded away. Running it
again an hour later, it finished quickly.
5. When you click Generate to get a diag sheet, it says could not
start process but this is likely a KDE thing I'm guessing.
6. Clicking System Settings > Display > Gamma shuts down Display
Settings. I think this was also in 4.2.4 and is probably a KDE thing as well.
7. Checking on Enable Desktop Effects" and clicking Apply throws a
"Sorry...." error.
More as it comes.
